This should come easy for us to dance around. Follow me as i take you through the options one after the other.

In OPTION A - INCORRECT, It is noticeable that the construction of the statement does not differ from the question so asked. In this case it ought not to be so because the aim of the writer is for us to get a different orientation about the message although the originality must be retained.

In OPTION B - INCORRECT, it'd be grammatically wrong to use Different together with than. It is a misplaced priority of word information. It does not give the much desired meaning in all honesty.

in OPTION C - INCORRECT, we can't say decisively if the head-word is the one being qualified or the object. Since we could not arrive at a compromising decision it'd be decisive to look elsewhere for the proper response to the question.

In OPTION D - INCORRECT. This statement is correct enough but some parts of the sentence still bears much similarly to the question itself which contracts the pattern we've been following in solving out questions. For an instance, ''because they are'' is an adverbial clause of reason but it could be seen in the main question too. It is partially not an option.

The last statement comes under OPTION E - CORRECT and it is the tonic needed to spice-up the statement ''because'' they are'' has been replaced with much simpler words ''in that'' yet the meaning has remained and the integrity of the statement is still protected. It is obviously an option.
